Shirt design (a question...possibly a dumb one)

[reuber1]

OK, I've never touched designing for clothing before. All that I want to do is get a shirt template image that I can load in Freehand and put in my design for a reference shot in my portfolio. I try googling shirt design (and related queries) and all I get are these sites where you upload your art and text and it looks like crap.

Anyway, anybody know of where I can just download a template for a long sleeve shirt (or a site with bunch of clothing templates)?
Honestly, this is a bigger pain in the butt than I figured it would be.

I love St. Patty's Day.

I know you said freehand but I found this a while back for illustrator - maybe you can convert it

You know, there's like a butt-load of gangs on this forum. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bo staff.

Can't get through on your link milwaukee (tried googling too and it wouldn't work), and I remember seeing the one you put up PD a while back but they're all short sleeve (unless I missed one), and also they look like something I could do myself, which I think I'm probably going to have to do. I was just wondering if there was like some official, wonderful database out there of templates for stuff like this. Oh well, not terribly urgent, I'll find a way around it, I'm just too tired to think of one now.

if you don't want something that looks like you could have done it yourself, you should probably hire someone else to do it.

I meant that I would rather do the designs myself if there is no official template for these; I was under the initial impression thatthere was someplace that has official or standardtemplates for this, and I was evidentlywrong. I'm a timepressed guy looking for some quick answers, sorry if I sounded facetious. I'll take care of it myself.

*************** has tshirt templates downlaod it and there are all kinds of color choices

[reuber1]

Awesome link, boscow! With the exception that they're short sleeve and not long, that's something that I can easily fix in the SWF download, and is pretty close to exactly whatI want. Thanks again man.


I like the ongoing contest thing they've got there, hell I could use $400 and be willing to spend the extra hundred on some of their coolershirts.
